Can’t understand why they don’t play the O2, they would sell it out no problem. It’s Going to be a nightmare trying to get tickets for the Olympia again.

Would they though?

I would love to have seen them in The O2, great sound there.
Thet might not have sold it out, but i think they would have a crowd of
between 8,000 to 10,000 and the atmosphere would have been Brilliant..
In saying that, i saw them at The Olympia in 09 and they nearly blew the roof
off. I hear that Neville Staples will not be part of the line up on this tour, as he
is taking a break :cool:

Tickets on sale Thursday morning from Ticketmaster at 9AM.

Serious? That's not good! Oh well, I'll still try and get to this regardless! Was sickened I couldn't see them the other times, and this will prob be the last time they're here I would imagine.

:cool: STANDING :D
Standing area holds 900+ on a sold out gig, was at The Specials there
4 years ago, mental.. one of the best gigs i was ever at :cool:

holly8

any support ?

skaface

As far as i know, there is NO support band.. The Specials are comming on stage at 8.45 and playing a longer set instead :cool:
Not long to go now.. can,t Fcukin wait!!!

mickyellow

Guys, any idea what happened to Terry Hall last night and why he got in such a mood at the end. Still a really good gig although I'm still unsure about the "string section". Strange to see a gig in the olympia and at 10.30.

skaface

I think he wasn,t happy with the sound there, and got annoyed more than once.
Thought the band played a great set , great to hear so many songs from their second album - hence the string section.. would be impossible to play those songs without them.
As for finishing at 10.30.. they played for an hour and a half, played 20+ songs..
i think they earned their few squid.. ( and they had to do it all again 2 nite in their 2nd Olympia gig).Ireally enjoyed it, sore today though :D

stateofflux

i am not a huge fan but i have to say i was blown away by their performance on monday. the amount of classic songwriting on display was staggering...great atmosphere too.:)

place was hopping last night,great gig.good session in the Turks head afterwards the bionic rats were providing the entertainment there.skinheads never die,we just get older:)
